Holmes, 40, born in West Virginia, living with others all born in Pennsylvania: wife Rhoda, 46, and children William 19; Jennie, 17; Wallace, 16; Eva, 13; and Amos, 13. Also in the home is step-daughter Emma Lingenfelter. [Note: Emma is the daughter of Rhoda whose husband died in 1918. Frederick's children are by his first marriage, Rhoda being his second wife. In 1929, step-daughter Emma birthed a daughter, Vyvian Alice Holmes, whose obituary identifies her step-father Federick C. Holmes as her father.].
